Chapter 291 The Thief Returns
Same with life, hobbies and work.
There was no need to think about Xu Damao's job. Liu Haizhong didn't even know which direction the door of the Propaganda Department faced.
Then there is Xu Damao's life. He is rich and has a stable job, but the only flaw is that he is divorced, so it is probably not his turn to help find a wife.
The focus is on Xu Damao's three major hobbies.
Drinking, flirting with widows, and going against Shazhu.
Liu Haizhong analyzed it for a long time and felt that he could only do something about flirting with widows.
But although his head looked big, his brain core was pitifully small. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out how to help Xu Damao with this.
So he could only ask for help from the second aunt next to him.
"Xu Damao wants to marry Liang Tingyu. Do you have any way to help him?"
The second aunt shook her head like a rattle.
“Forget it. Liang Tingyu looks weak and doesn’t suffer any loss at all. She really dares to do it. I dare not provoke her.”
"Who told you to provoke her? I meant to help Xu Damao marry Liang Tingyu."
"How can I help? I can't say anything and she ignores me."
"Who in the courtyard can have a say?"
"The Lin family and the Meng family, but they can't listen to you."
"Is Liang Tingyu missing anything?"
"How would I know that? No, boss, what do you want to do?" The second aunt was asked and didn't understand what Liu Haizhong wanted to do.
Liu Haizhong finally reacted, but he hadn't told him the reason yet.
"I want to buy the medicine from Xu Damao, but he won't sell it to me easily, so I'm thinking about how to get him to sell it to me."
Second Aunt didn't want to talk anymore at that time. Such a simple matter was made so complicated.
"Go find Xu Fugui. If he doesn't give you face, how can he not give face to his father? You and Xu Fugui have been neighbors for ten years and your relationship has always been good. Why don't you just have a drink together?"
"Yeah! Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Liu Haizhong slapped his forehead, thinking that such a simple matter had been made so complicated by him.
"Okay, you guys eat dinner by yourselves, I'm going to go find Lao Xu."
After saying that, Liu Haizhong went straight out the door, feeling extremely excited.
In the central courtyard of the Jia family, Jia Zhang was lying by the window, keeping an eye on the situation in the courtyard.
Medicines are in short supply. If you have them at home today, they may be gone tomorrow, so you must seize any opportunity to get them.
Banggeng was always prepared. Whenever he stole a box of medicine, his grandmother would give him two dollars.
For him, this was an irresistible temptation.
Just go to Xu Damao's house to get the things, it will be easy.
Qin Huairu got off work a little late today. When she got home, she was a little surprised to see that Jia Zhang and Banggeng were not making a fuss about eating.
"What are you doing?"
She put on her apron and couldn't help but ask.
"Hurry up and cook, don't worry about it!" Jia Zhang was still looking out the window, too lazy to turn her head.
When Qin Huairu saw that something was wrong, her heart tightened.
"Mom, who are you waiting for? Let me tell you, now is not the same as before. Yi Zhonghai is no longer in charge of things, and Ni Ye will not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes."
"What do you mean by no sand?"
Jia Zhang was immediately annoyed.
"Qin Huairu, you want to starve us to death? Hurry up and cook!"
Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but still went to the kitchen. With her watching, nothing serious should happen.
But just as he turned around, Xu Damao passed by Jia's house and went outside, and Banggeng also rushed out of the room and went to the backyard.
Jia Zhang was waiting anxiously, and soon she saw Banggeng running in holding a box.
"Grandma, is this what you want? It's right on the bed. I found it right away."
"Yes, yes, I am the most obedient!"
Jia Zhang was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the box to check.
As soon as she opened the box and took a whiff, she immediately felt refreshed. At the same time, Jia Zhang frowned.
"Bang Geng, look at him, why does he look so familiar to me?"
Bang Geng also stretched his head over and scratched his cheek.
"Isn't this the little wax ball that Sophora japonica plays with?"
"Oh, yes, my eldest grandson has a really good memory!"
Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea.
"Bang Geng, hurry up, go get all the balls your sister plays with."
"Oh~"
While Banggeng was looking for the wax pills, Jia Zhang hurriedly poured all the pills on the bed and counted them. There were exactly ten pills, no more, no less.
On the other side, Xiao Huaihua saw her toy being snatched away, and she pouted, tears streaming down her face.
The family favors boys over girls. The little girl has no human rights and has to follow her brother in everything.
For the sake of two dollars, Banggeng didn't care about anything else. He loaded all the things and fell on the bed.
Jia Zhang hurriedly grabbed the wax balls into the box, and when she saw that it was almost done, she stuffed the box back to Bang Geng.
"Bang Geng, hurry up and send it back. Go and come back quickly. Don't let anyone see it."
"Oh~"
"Remember, put it in its original shape and don't mess it up."
"understood!"
Banggeng picked up the box and ran away, almost bumping into Qin Huairu who came into the room after hearing the crying.
"Bang Geng, what are you doing so furiously?"
"Something's wrong!"
Banggeng bypassed Qin Huairu and ran quickly to the backyard.
When Qin Huairu saw Banggeng holding a strange box in his hand, she felt panicked and knew that he had done something wrong.
She hurriedly followed and just saw Banggeng running into Xu Damao's house.
At the same time, Xu Damao's voice sounded in the front yard.
Qin Huairu went forward without saying a word and blocked the man just at the moon gate.
"Xu Damao, you've become rich. You look so happy."
"Hey, Qin Huairu, don't say that. You and I are different. I've seen you go to the guesthouse quite often recently."
Xu Damao made a sarcastic remark and was about to leave by bypassing Qin Huairu, but was blocked by Qin Huairu.
"Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. I went to the guesthouse to help with the work. Don't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, I know my limits!"
Xu Damao smiled and tried to take a detour again, but was still blocked by Qin Huairu.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing?"
After saying that, he panicked and pushed Qin Huairu away and ran to the backyard. Qin Huairu couldn't stop him even if she tried.
They only got involved for half a minute, but in that half minute, Banggeng had already run out of Xu Damao's house.
The two happened to meet each other at the corner.
Xu Damao pulled the stick over and started to search him without saying a word. Just after he touched two pockets, he heard Qin Huairu's accusing voice from behind.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing? Let go of our Bang Geng."
How could Xu Damao listen to him? He continued to search his pockets and found nothing. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was full of doubts.
Qin Huairu pulled the stick into her arms.
"Xu Damao, what right do you have to search my son's body? If you don't give me an explanation, I will never let you go."
Xu Damao was too lazy to pay attention to them. He glared at Qin Huairu and her son and hurried back home.
The medicine boxes were all there. I opened a few and found the wax pills were all there, with no signs of them having been moved.
Did he steal something else?
Xu Damao checked again and found nothing missing.
He scratched his head. Could it be that he really had wronged that kid Banggeng?
